Fishing for Sailfish in the Florida Keys

Our good friend Tim Ramsey had the good fortune last month of fishing in Islamorada, a "Village of Islands" in Monroe County, Florida. He and his wife/fishing companion Betsy enjoyed the perfect weather for fishing in January in the Keys-- highs in the low 60s, mixed clouds and a pleasant breeze.

Betsy and Tim took some beautiful pictures which captured the magnificent views, red sunrises, mixed clouds, a little salt water spray and magic of the trip!


The Reel McCoy, perfect for easy access and quick exits!

from the harbor where the water is about 25 feet deep.

Beautiful catch! Sailfish are members of the
billfish family.  They typically are 5 to 11 feet,
weighing 120 to 220 pounds. They are distinguished from
the well known marlin by their full size dorsal fin
which runs nearly the length of their body.
They are not widely eaten and are not endangered
but make great game fish.
